Random homogenization of an obstacle problem

Analysis of PDEs 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study the homogenization of an obstacle problem in a perforated domain. The holes are periodically distributed but have random size and shape. The capacity of the holes is assumed to be stationary ergodic. As in the periodic case, we show that the asymptotic behavior of the solutions is described by an elliptic equation involving an additional term that takes into account the effects of the obstacle.
